Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

My mind is tellin me no
But my body, my body's tellin' me yes
Baby, I don't want to hurt nobody
But there is something that I must confess

My mind is telling me no
My mind is telling me no
My mind is telling me no
My mind is telling me no
No no no no no no no

No no no no no no no
No no no no no no no
My mind is telling me no
No no no no no no no
No no no no no no no
No no no no no no no

My mind is telling me no
But my body, my body's telling me yes
Baby, I don't want to hurt nobody
But there is something that I must confess





My mind is telling me no
